Where in the world am I going?

This is a satellite photo (stolen from Google) of where I'll be heading. Gornji Vakuf - Uskopije is at the top on the left, right in a mountain range, well the valley between two mountain ranges. Almost directly east is the capital Sarajevo, the largest city in BiH. To the south is the city of Mostar, it have a beautiful bridge that has been recently rebuild after it was destroyed during the war.

BiH has two neighbours, Croatia (to the north and south west) and Serbia-Montenegro (to the north and south east). The water at the bottom of the picture is the Adriatic Sea, a part of the Mediterranean that separates the Balkans from Italy.

As you can see, the country is fairly mountainous where I am, so I'll get plenty of exercise mountain climbing and such. I might even make it down to the coast to check out the ocean.

There's a whole lot more info like this from the BiH tourist office, the link to which is on the right. Posted by Picasa
